In 1972, he was awarded the 76th Bronze Wolf, the only distinction of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, awarded by the 24th World Scout Conference,Nairobi, Kenya in World Scout Committee for exceptional services to world Scouting. Mr. Kingsley C.

Further he served on the special committee attached to the International Advisory Bureau for handicapped Scouts and was Vice-President of the World Council for the Welfare of the Blind.
In 1952 when an Universally accepted Braille system was introduced to the whole world by UNESCO, in remembrance of the centenary death anniversary of Louis Braille and as Mr. Kingsley C. Dassanayke was in that committee, we were fortunate to have the Sri Lankan Braille System of our own, prepared by himself with the universal acceptance. So we should salute this noble Scouter with great respect not only with scouts but also with the whole Sri Lankan Blind Community of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
